News_Stig Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Some will think 'WTF', some 'why?' and others will think 'I'll buy one!' Which boat is the TSN massive in? Toyota's motorsport division has turned a Lexus LS into a road racer for the Essen Motor Show in December. Based on an LS460, the TMG Sports 650 gets the bigger V8 from the LS600, and a big increase in power and torque. A standard LS460 puts out 382 bhp and 363 lb ft – the TMG Sports 650 develops 641 bhp and 564 lb ft. The V8 has been uprated with a pair of turbos and the redline has been raised to 7450rpm, to give the Lexus a claimed 0-62 mph time of 3.9 sec and a top speed of 198 mph. To match the car’s acceleration potential, the brakes are carbon ceramic, with 20-inch wheels and 345/30 tyres at the rear. Major modifications to the body include carbon sill skirts and a new rear diffuser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
